Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Belfast Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Gladstone: A Convincing Rejoinder We note with regret that to much which we regard as important in our report you have avoided giving any answer whatever. We asked for "any definite statement of social or material improvements to Ireland likely to result from this Bill." To this request you made no reply. We pointed out that the only means towards such ends suggested by the Nationalist party indicate a system of bounties. This is heresy against free trade, but you have not repudiated that programme, and to our question, why we are to be driven from the position, and severed from the conditions which have made the success of our city possible, you vouchsafe no reply at all. You have told us these men to whom we are opposed preach a doctrine of public plunder. Yet you have not offered the shadow of a reason to satisfy us that they will not use the powers with which you propose to entrust them to put those doctrines in force. At the outset you challenged our statement that the amount collected by the Customs Department in Belfast for 1892 was £2,376,511, and by the Inland Revenue Department £900,000 more, making together £3,250,000. The exact classification of the revenue is not important; nevertheless, as you question our figures, we now append an official certificate of their substantial accuracy.
